Comments

Consider the density of the radiation function (in wavelength form) B(lambda) = 2*h*c^2/{lambda^5*[exp(h*c/(kB*lambda*T))-1]}, where h is Planck's constant, c the speed of light, kB the Boltzmann constant, T the absolute temperature, and lambda the wavelength. Searching the maximum, we set the first derivative dB/dlambda to zero, then substitute x=lambda*T/(h*c/kB). The equation becomes 5+(1/x-5)*exp(1/x)=0 and the solution x is this constant here. - R. J.
